Things have turned the corner for me John. I've moved (to the North Shore of LI) and am otherwise doing fine. I can be fishing 5 minutes from my driveway.
Can you imagine BM in the old WMI days ?

I think he and Doug would have got along famously

(That's BM wielding the hammer there).
I don't see your brother-in-law around much, give him my best.
Hopefully, we'll have a get-together at Mass Bass in March. No MV trip for me this year. Vacation time is all used up, but next year's a new beginning I hope.
